Government adopts harsher penalties for child pornography
Nothing would be wrong with that. But now, new offenses are created with colloquial and vague terms that probably will send half of the German population under suspicion. Only in a new case Edathy it would lead to a conviction.
The bill defines the term child pornography new, so now so called "posing" pictures are forbidden and the definition also included images that were made without the child's knowledge. On the one hand this law will adapt the Christian fundamentalist US law, as requested by the other side of the Atlantic for a long time, on the other hand, each recording of a birthday party without the consent of all parents is at least illegal. German Family Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) already warns a strain on the judicial police in federal and state governments would arise.
Even the German Association of Lawyers (Deutscher Anwaltverein ) notes that it is disproportionate that the dissemination of nude images will be punished, even when they have not been made against the wishes of children or without parental consent.
Totally crazy it is now when anyone tries a "preventive obstruction of justice". "Even the immediate deletion of the images will not help against prosecution." concludes Katja Keul, responsible for family policy in the Green Party, interpreting the legal text.
The child nude image of the grandmother taken in the 20-ies of the last century, which stands on the dresser since ancient times, one can burn quickly, but the digital photographs from your last vacation at a nudist beach are stored on several media. Which program to delete those pictures will conform to the law or could prevent a conviction if the digital trash basket is not sufficient? A comprehensive training of all people and free provision of such software would be expected at least before the law will be set to power - otherwise a lot of work will appear for the police and courts.
